Chapter 716: Chapter 716: From Now On, I Am Your Retribution (First Update)
Cheng Liangyu was struck with terror and took a few steps back subconsciously.
Because the gaze of this man was simply too terrifying.
While in Silver City, Cheng Liangyu had encountered many Fifth Rank and even Sixth Rank powerhouses.
Moreover, the City Lord of Silver City was an unparalleled mighty figure.
As the captain of the Dragon Shadow Guard, Cheng Liangyu naturally had interactions with the Silver City Lord and had been profoundly convinced by his power, believing him to be the most powerful man on the planet.
But unlike the City Lord’s fierce and intimidating presence,
this man’s authority lay hidden beneath a calm exterior, like a massive iceberg submerged beneath the surface of the sea.
It was silent, yet commanded awe.
This bizarre feeling made Cheng Liangyu so uncomfortable that he wanted to cough up blood, and his heart no longer held any desire to fight; he only wanted to flee from this place as far and as fast as possible.
But just as this thought arose, he felt his body lighten, and then he was floating in the air.
“You… .”
Cheng Liangyu let out a shout of surprise and tried to break free with all his might.
But it was at this moment that he discovered, in terror, his entire body was no longer under his control; forget struggling, even moving a finger had become a luxury.
Not only that, Cheng Liangyu tried to activate his innate abilities, only to find that even his talents had become unusable.
At this moment, Xue An shook his head, “Don’t struggle, it’s no use!”
Cheng Liangyu’s complexion turned deathly pale in an instant.
Because he finally understood just how vast the gap in strength was between him and this man.
“Sir… please forgive my earlier offence!”
Cheng Liangyu swallowed hard and croaked out his words.
He was a proud man, who had thought he would never beg for mercy from anyone in his life.
Yet, this situation, where he was completely paralyzed, like a lamb awaiting slaughter, instilled in Cheng Liangyu immense fear.
So immense that even he, who thought he was not afraid of death, began to plead for mercy.
Xue An smiled, then said indifferently, “Who is Cheng Xiya to you?”
“Replying to… your lordship, she is my younger sister!”
Xue An nodded but said nothing.
Cheng Liangyu’s brain was frantically working, trying desperately to come up with the right words.
“Sir, I truly had no idea that you were such a formidable Samurai, please allow me to express my most sincere apologies for my previous rudeness!”
After Cheng Liangyu finished speaking, he saw that Xue An had no expression and secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
In any case, it was good as long as he was willing to listen.
Therefore, he continued, “Sir, my sister Cheng Xiya is naturally unruly and must have offended you. Therefore, it is no one else’s fault if she is dead! And as long as you are willing to let me go, I will report back to my family, and the Cheng Family will certainly give you a proper explanation.”
That’s right.
The current implication of Cheng Liangyu’s words was that not only was the incident with Cheng Xiya’s death considered past, but the Cheng Family would also show enough remorse for it.
This was in stark contrast to the aggressive posture he had adopted upon his arrival.
